Times Square - Marianne Faithfull

In a tired part of the city

Hiding from the fast talk

Watch 'Don't walk' to 'Walk'

Easy when you’re dreaming

Staring at the movies

Standing in a circle

Laughing at the wrong time

If alcohol could take me there

I’d take a shot a minute

And be there by the hour

Take a walk around Times Square

With a pistol in my suitcase

And my eyes on the TV

In a car taking a back seat

Staring out the window

Thinking about danger

Playing in a wrong world

Fighting but I’m not free

Talking on the telephone

Talking about you and me

If Jesus Christ could take me here

I’d fall dawn on my knees

Have no questions to His answers

Take a walk around Times Square

With a pistol in my suitcase

And my eyes on the TV

Alcohol could take me there

I’d take a shot a minute

And be there by the hour

Take a walk around Times Square

With a pistol in my suitcase

And my eyes on the TV

And if I die gaining my senses

Wake up in a hotel

Staring at the ceiling
